Although still a new idea in the UK – Academies in Europe are popular

and a great way of putting a set training program into place for long

term success.

Having seen in Switzerland how young riders thrive and progress in

this type of environment, the JB Academy was developed for riders of

all ages, who wanted to succeed in the world of show jumping. The JB

Academy, now looking to its sixth year, has seen great competitive

results as well as riders enjoying the great atmosphere and

camaraderie that comes with a group striving for the same goal. The

JB Academy now offers three sections; JB Academy for riders aged 9 –

26, JB Seniors for riders over 26 years old, and now the JB Grassroots

for riders under 9 years old, offering the younger riders a training

platform to prepare them for their future in the JB Academy.

A maximum of 50 riders will be selected for the 2019/2020 season. The JB Academy will run for a 12 month period, starting 1st November each year. Riders will join by completing the application form, and submitting the annual fee of £285
